well Myrtle is less than 2 lbs and only 14 weeks old..I am waiting a bit!!! But I would still disagree to some extent. Since switching to raw...even ground...I have had no more tarter or plaque at all on my dog's teeth...and breath is great. Obviously this is just my experience but for me it's working! They do get both...ground and an occasion wing or leg or beef rib...they don't eat the beef rib bones though...just for fun chewing. Welll...except for my Pit and Rott mix...they eat EVERYTHING...and I certainly don't grind for them LOL! Hugs In Him, Deanna
